Solvan Naim made a web series about one of his dogs, called “It’s Bruno!” currently available on Netflix. It is the Bushwick creative’s most remarkable project yet.
The web series details the daily life of a dog-obsessed resident in Bushwick (and bordering Ridgewood) named Malcolm. Naim plays Malcom and describes the role as an exaggerated version of himself. Malcolm decorates his exposed brick apartment with cheap pop art canvases of the puggle pog, whom the show is named after. He fills his fridge with tupperware containers of elaborately prepared dog food and conducts most social activity at NYC Pet, the recently-opened animal food store on Knickerbocker Avenue.
The series was nominated for outstanding short-form comedy Emmy last month. It will compete there against Nick Hornby’s miniature marriage comedy and a “Broad City” online spin-off called “Hack Into Broad City,” and others.
